Yobuko Live Squid Sashimi

Yobuko is a port town renowned nationwide for its squid ikizukuri, where you can have freshly caught kensaki squid expertly filleted right before your eyes. The gleaming transparent squid sashimi is beautifully sweet with a delightfully crispy texture. The Yobuko style is to enjoy even the remaining portions as tempura or salt-grilled for double the pleasure. Along the morning market street, fresh seafood is displayed daily, where you can indulge in squid-focused gourmet fare like squid shumai and squid burgers. It's also highly recommended as a day trip destination combined with Karatsu Castle and Niji no Matsubara, a celebrated food destination.
